The aerospace business has long kept risk capital at a distance. Venture and angel investors tend to avoid companies whose business models entail carrying out multi-billion-dollar cost-plus contracts with one customer: the government.
Space 2.0 companies commercialize the investment in space technology that already exists, paid for by taxpayers over more than a half-century of NASA innovation. From temperature-shifting fabrics to photovoltaic solar arrays and satellite communications, venture-funded startups use patents and orbiting assets to build businesses quickly.
The Rockies Venture Club’s June meeting will take a look at Colorado’s unique place in the space business. Colorado boasts two aerospace incubators and lots of Space 2.0 companies, from tiny GPS and solar energy start-ups to Digital Globe and EchoStar.
Come prepared to have your assumptions challenged.
